Fokker F VIIa with banner for MS flightsim 98



Fokker FVIIa announcing the Dutch  Flight Simulation day on October 4th  at the 

Aviodome museum, Schiphol Airport Amsterdam.



This Fokker FVIIa was designed by the Flight Simulator Group of the friends of the 

Aviodome, the Dutch aviation museum at Schiphol airport. It was modelled after the 

surviving FVIIa that is exhibited at the museum in pre-war KLM livery.



We issue this model for users of MS Flight Simulator on the occasion of the national 

flight simulator day at the Aviodome museum on October 4, 1998. During that day, 

several Flight Simulator groups will demonstrate all kinds and all aspects of computer 

flightsimming. The public will get a chance to "fly" on the computer with several aircraft in 

different surroundings. Also will there be an original Linktrainer built in 1943 in action. 



Microsoft Netherlands will demonstrate a beta version off their FSCombat. There will be 

a commercial part where you will find flightsim programs, all kind of hardware, books, 

flightmaps etc.. 



Visitors will also get a chance to take a look at the Great Fokker Exhibition, now taking 

place at the Aviodome. On show are several Fokker aircraft, like the Spider (1913), WWI 

D VII and the Dr I Dreidecker of the type once used by the famous "Red Baron" Manfred 

Von Richthofen, the Fokker F VIIa, the S 14 jet trainer and the last, never completed, 

fuselage of the F50 from the now closed Fokker production line.



This Flight Simulator version of the FVIIa H-NACT is a beta version for promotional 

purposes.
